There are several significant updates in this version. GTIndex has had the -gtm option has been available for a while, but it now officially delivered. It allows you to index all graphics files by simply specifying the .GTM file.

A new utility called GTExtractFiles is also provided to create subsets of the data. It is similar to GTExtract, but it outputs the individual files instead of a .GTX file. The subsets can be used with GTViewer Data Server and GTViewer for iOS/Android.

Another new utility called GTQueryIdx will create indexes for Locate Queries (.QRY) to speed up performance when running a query. These indexes are supported by GTViewer 15+ and GTViewer for iOS/Android.

GTFontEdit has had another round of enhancement to improve productivity.
